Senate observes memory of Senator William B. Bate
The senate adjourned in memory of Tennessee’s late Senator William B. Bate. Republicans planned to oppose the Blackburn amendment backing the president’s authority over negro troops. Senator Lodge withdrew his substitute as Foraker’s resolution would cover similar ground. A vote was expected tomorrow with possible adjournment to Monday. Alfred proposed extending inquiry into southern discrimination against negro soldiers. Rhode Island’s Aldrich had nearly changed his mind about offering the amendment.
